THE MANUFACTURING OF MEDICAL DEVICES, THE LIFE SCIENCES AND PHARMACEUTICALS THRIVES IN SOUTH CAROLINA. MAKE US THE HOME OF YOUR NEXT CLEAN ROOM! HERE’S WHY:

R&D Hub: We are the only state in the country with our major hospitals networked into a statewide biomedical research collaborative Health Sciences South Carolina. Our three research universities – Clemson, University of South Carolina, Medical University of South Carolina – have endowed chairs in the life sciences. The renowned Savannah River National Laboratory and Greenwood Genetics Center also call the Palmetto State home. Your life science facility can get the intellectual capital you need here in South Carolina.

Reliable Electricity: When you are engaged in research or the manufacture of sensitive materials, the last thing you need is a power outage. The South Carolina Power Team, comprised of the Santee Cooper and the state’s electric cooperatives, provides electricity to 2 million people through its over 5700 megawatt generation and transmission system. All at a cost that is 14% lower than the national average. We have the power to make your life science operation a success right here in South Carolina.

Incentives: In its extensive incentives arsenal, South Carolina maintains several that are specially designed to assist medical and life science operations. Those include an enhanced corporate HQ tax credit when an R&D operation is  included, sales tax exemptions on R&D equipment and special depreciation rates for Class 100 or better clean rooms and equipment used in life science manufacturing.
